Boy, that Carly Fiorina boom really took off!
At the debate Tuesday night, Fiorina slammed Donald Trump for saying he had met Russian President Vladimir Putin in the '60 Minutes' greenroom, noting that she'd met Putin at 'a meeting' not a 'greenroom.'
The audience, which seemed a little suspicious to me from the beginning, responded with — I'm quoting the transcript — '(LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE) (CHEERING).'
A quick Google search revealed that Fiorina had recently told Jimmy Fallon that she met Putin — IN A GREENROOM. As a big tech executive, you'd think she'd remember Google.
After boasting that American Express just boosted his credit limit, Rubio gave a series of canned speeches in response to every question, including everyone's favorite about 'the future':
'This election is about the future, about what kind of country this nation is gonna be in the 21st century. This next election is actually a generational choice. A choice about what kind of nation we will be in the 21st century [blah, blah, blah -- seriously, he actually said the words, 'blah, blah blah'] And so here's the truth: This election is about the future, and the Democratic Party, and the political left has no ideas about the future.'
(Rubio proposes to be the candidate of the future with this brand-new idea: mass immigration!)
Someone needs to tell Marco that every election is about the future, not just this one. It was also the slogan for every high school graduation and prom circa 1999.
We have now had the fourth straight Republican debate in which Rubio was not asked one question about his single legislative accomplishment: Passing amnesty in the U.S. Senate.
Rubio was Sen. Chuck Schumer's patsy on the job-killing amnesty bill. He voted for the job-killing - and widely hated -Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. In a debate on economics, he did not get a question on either one.
Having actually asked Rubio a tough question once, Jorge Ramos remains the only immigrant willing to do a job Americans just won't do: Ask Florida Man a serious question.
Rubio was practically taunting the moderators to bring up immigration with him. He complained about the big banks hiring 'the fanciest law firm in Washington or the best lobbying firm to deal with all these regulations.'
Why were Rubio and Carson not asked about their support for TPP? This was supposed to be an economic debate.
Trying to figure out why “green room” is worth arguing over; all I found was “In show business, the green room is the space in a theatre, or similar venue which functions as a waiting room and lounge for performers before and after a performance, and during the show when they are not engaged on stage.”
Yep, that’s what a green room is. Snarly was being snarky and said she met Putin in a meeting, putting down Trump’s conversation with him in a green room. Turns out Snarly met Putin in the same setting.
That question went down the memory hole. Too bad most if not all conservatives already know this and won’t vote for Marco.
In other words, Rubio cannot win the Presidency so he might as well drop out. Unless of course this is for a money grab.
Too bad Cruz isnt a natural-born citizen.
This is just stupid.
truth will not set her free
Lying Liar Carly Fiorina Lied Many Lies At The Debate, And That’s No Lie

That debate Tuesday night sure was somethin’! It was like, you know, Republicans, on a stage, and they were on the Fox Business Network, and there were questions and even commercial breaks with trailers for Michael Bay’s Benghazi!!!!111!! film and desperate pleas that we all buy gold, and oh, our hearts, they were racing!
No, just teasing, it was bad and terrible and not all that different from the evil demon CNBC debate. And, BREAKING NEWS, MUST CREDIT WONKET, the candidates lied a lot, and how can you talk about that without checking in with old Lies-A-Lot herself, Ms. Carly Fiorina? Let’s go to the transcript and see what she pulled out of her fib-hole this time!
That time Carly Fiorina and Vladimir Putin were lovers.
Far and away the most hilarious lie came in one of Carly’s patented Zingers, directed toward one Donald The Trump, who thinks he’s “met Vladimir Putin.†As if, Mexican Wall Boy! Carly’s met Putin, and it wasn’t some kind of “Oh, we were in the green room for a show we were both on.†They had a REAL MEETING:
One of the reasons I’ve said that I would not be talking to Vladimir Putin right now, although I have met him as well, not in a green room for a show, but in a private meeting.
Take that, Mister Trump! Except not so much, as the Truth-O-Meter gives that 11,000 wooden Pinocchios and also a couple of Sarah Palins:
Fiorina met Putin for 45 minutes in a green room-type setting, during the 2001 APEC CEO Summit in Beijing, where they were both scheduled to deliver speeches.
Oh.
She probably said one about Obamacare. They ALL said one about Obamacare.
Correct as usual, King Friday! When it came Carly’s turn to GOP-splain how Obamacare is the worst and causes sickness and death and overwhelming butthurt, she said it like this:
Well, first Obamacare has to be repealed because it’s failing the very people it was intended to help, but, also, it is crony-capitalism at its worst. Who helped write this bill? Drug companies, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, every single one of those kinds of companies are bulking up to deal with big government. […]
We need to try the free market. The free market. Where people actually have to compete. […]
The point is Obamacare is crushing small businesses, it is not helping the families it was intended to help.
WHOA IF TRUE. Now we will grant her one thing, which is that Big Healthcare did help write the bill to benefit insurance and drug companies, which is why real liberals like yr Wonkette wanted single payer, but that is neither here nor there, because #liberaltalk and also we have BEEN TRYING THE FREE MARKET IN HEALTHCARE FOR ABOUT ELEVENTEEN BILLION YEARS. More to the point, though: Is Obamacare such a huge failure? Wish we had some facts and figures to find out.
BREAKING: Obamacare Good For You, Whether You Like It Or Not
Oh, we do! Here’s a study what says more Americans than ever have insurance, for less money than before, and that the people most likely NOT to be benefitting are those who live in states led by Republicans who refuse to fully implement it, HUH!
And here’s another one! Oh, and this one says that too, but it turns out it’s REALLY great for poors and minorities, and we’re not sure if those are “the very people†Carly Fiorina would like to help.
Gosh, it’s so easy to find evidence of the good Obamacare is doing, it’s enough to make you wonder if Google works on Carly’s broken HP computers.
Bonus lie of omission:
Now, let me just say — let me just say, I know more about innovation and entrepreneurship than anyone on this panel because I have led innovative businesses in the most highly competitive industry in the world for decades.
She probably meant to say “broke innovative businesses†instead of “led innovative businesses.†Carly’s mistake. Oops!
Then she said something about her “secret sauce†and we threw up to death.
Instead of answering your question, let me tell you a story, and then do a lie!
look How Obama Ruined The GOP Primaries With All These New Jobs
This was a fun moment. Moderator Maria Bartiromo asked a very mean liberal media question, full of facts and numbers, about how blah blah, President Obama adds an average of 107,000 jobs per month, President Clinton added 240,000 per month, but President George W. Bush only added 13,000 per month, WHATEVER, MARIA, WITH YOUR “NUMBERS.†Did Fiorina hear about the awesomesauce new jobs report? How would candidate Fiorina respond to a Clinton saying numbers at her and making jokes about her tanking Hewlett-Packard?
Well, that reminded Carly of a story:
I think about a woman I met the other day. I would guess she was 40 years old.
Blah blah blah, and Carly fired her from HP, LOL just kidding. Anyway, it was a story about a thing, as opposed to an answer to the question she was asked. And then she lied:
Yes, problems have gotten much worse under Democrats.
But wait, didn’t Bartiromo just ‘splain how there is big job growth when a person named “Any Democrat, Really†is in the White House, and how Not Shit happens when it’s a Republican? Nice sleight of forked tongue, Carly! Lie, and say it in a way that makes it sound like you’re agreeing with the moderator!
Did she say any lies about Planned Parenthood this time?
NOPE! This was the Fox BUSINESS debate, about important BUSINESS things, and none of the fetuses Carly LITERALLY SAW on that video (that doesn’t exist) had MBAs, so it wasn’t relevant.
She probably said them to her husband in the car on the way home, though. It’s how she does sex foreplay to him,
???? Didn’t see that.
When did Trump say he met Putin in green room before 60 minutes? I thought he met Putin in Russia during one of the Beauty Pageants.
I find it curious that Trump said he met Putin in a 60 minutes green room when Putin’s interview was filmed in Moscow. Of course Charlie Rose could have been lying when he prefaced his interview by saying, “We met with President Putin at his state residence outside Moscow.”
You are right. Carly and Marco regurgitate sections of their stump speeches in debates, whether they have anything to do with the question or not.
I didn’t see that either. Cruz isn’t mentioned in this article.
I’m sure Trump has been around Putin many times. In the debate he just mentioned talking to him for an hour in a green room.
Is he not a natural born citizen?
His mother was a natural born citizen, born in Delaware. Ted was born in Canada during a time his parents had relocated there because of his father’s work.
As far as I know that makes him a US citizen.
Page 2
Cruz is the only candidate out there remotely capable of doing the job of president, but not better than Trump. For now, as I see it, Trump stands above all these guys.
A “US citizen”? By statute, or by nature?
Is that what the Founders intended?
The Constitution doesn’t specifically say.
Is there case law that contradicts the supposition that a person born of US citizen parents in a foreign land are not considered ‘natural born’?
